for New drivers after deductions is the take home pay 700-600 a month?

FYI,

The LTL company I worked for was Dohrn Transfer.

I'm now driving for Wolfpak. I landed a OTR job that pays by the hour and pays time and a half after 40 hours, and I'm only gone 5 days a week. I'm home every weekend. I typically work 60 hours a week. That and Wolfpak also pays quarterly fuel, safety and mileage bonuses. Couple that with 401k matching and per deim, and my prevailing wage will be higher than it was when I was at Dohrn, although my gross will be about the same.

 

I'll make just shy of $70k first year driving a truck.

My coworker made $81k last year and is on track to make near $90k this year driving OTR.. No prevailing wages no per diem....

Jobs are out there

 

Again... My pay stub is posted on here... I said you do the same...

 

*sigh*

A paystub does absolutely nothing to convince me what you make the rest of the year. Also, I'm not the one lying so I have nothing to prove.

 

I'm tired of arguing with a bunch of liars. Maybe y'all will convince some rookie you're grossing more than $70,000 a year, but not me. I'm going to unfollow this thread.

 

Do you think I'm going on vacation for the last 7 months... Paystub shows every bit what you've made ytd. It will also be an indicator of what you're going to make the rest of the year.

Your very ignorant is what you are....especially if you don't think that a paystub with ytd earnings is what you'll make on average... Same info as a W2

 

Explain how a paystub is not accurate

 

I am with RedWolf-seems to be a while lot of trucker millionaires around here! My company pays very well, above average - but here are our stats:

Average driver made $54,000 last year. Top 10% made over $64,000.

 

I made 24k my first year in 2013 with USA Truck. Second year I made 40k and I'm making about 60k / year now on a dedicated run that gets me home every night.

 

Even if dedicated paid me 60k a year, I wouldn't do it.

I don't like multi stops in small rural neighborhood cities or on crowded busy metropolitan towns.
I don't like unloading and sweating my guts off inside of a hot trailer.
I don't like driving fast to meet several appointments a day.
I don't like having to skip meals because I've got to be at one place right after the other.
I don't like having to sleep at the back of a lot because I ran out of time and tgen can't move.

Not worth it for me.

I rather do otr until I start hauling a tank.
